Workers at Lusaka Hotel have gone on an indefinite strike after going unpaid for three months.
Lusaka Hotel is the oldest hotel in Zambia having opened in 1914.
The workers who gathered at the Hotel singing anti management songs called on the Ministry of Labor and Social Security to quickly intervene in the matter.
They told Journalists in an interview that some receive around 700 Kwacha a month as salaries.
They said some have been working as casuals for over nine years without being offered permanent jobs.
Senior management officials and representatives of the Hotel Catering and Allied Workers Union were locked up in a meeting over the same issue.
meagre salaries, delayed payment, what a combination..Then the question that begs for an answer is how do these workers survive in the view of the management ? would it surprise management when workers strip clients of anything that can translate into a medium of exchange or when substandard meals are served because certain ingredients disappear to suppliment meagre or non existence wages. management needs serious overhaul…realise that you are dealing with human beings and not bionic machines.
